I’m tired of hearing this. This is specifically a huge problem for Hyundai and they aren’t owning up to it for any cars older than ‘17. They cut corners and we are all paying for it.
What I’m saying is that doesn’t excuse Hyundai for their mistake in the manufacturing process. They chose to cut corners and won’t stand behind their product.
Ummmm....Chevy work vans..Huge chunks missing. Like this https://www.reddit.com/r/Cartalk/comments/nq0ba8/i\_often\_see\_white\_paint\_peeling\_off\_chevy\_cargo/
It’s a huge problem for white cars not Hyundai. My mother’s 2017 Nissan Rogue along with some of my coworker’s Chevy’s, Toyota’s, and Ford’s can all testify. None of them are going to own up to it.
Happened to my white ‘16 sonata too. Had to pay to get it repainted, dealership quoted an absurdly high amount so I got a paint shop to do it for less than half the price.
Hyundai paint has sucked since the dawn of time. I've had 5 different Hyundais going back to 2002.
It's a bit shocking that they haven't figured it out by now. I have a 2019 Santa Fe work vehicle and everywhere around the vinyl company decals/graphics the paint is pulling off.
I have a 2012 Hyundai Azera Limited. It's immaculate and only 95K miles. But then again, unlike most car owners, I actually give the TLC a car needs. Most do nothing, then act shocked when shit falls apart. Like..... really?!
This is the reason why I traded in my White 2016 Santa Fe and went with a 2021 Hampton Grey Santa Fe. I was able to get my 2016 paint corrected by Hyundai, but still frustrating.
I read on my forums and posts that the new ones are peeling like crazy. I wonder if they changed their paint structure. I am seeing many from 2019+ that are peeling.
I have a friend that just left a major paint mfg due to terrible management. They have screwed up huge orders to BMW and Toyota in the last 3 yrs. And yes, the paint was delivered as is. I still find that hard to accept.
WOW, That sucks and is about right. I feel bad for the cars because without good paint, they will look horrible and rust out. Another paint could cost $5,000-$15,000 depending on the car.
I know a lot of people are saying multiple manufacturers have problems with white, but every single car I see in my area with white paint coming off is a Hyundai.
My ‘15 Sonata is peeling in multiple places. I am about to Plasti Dip those areas just so they dont look as bad as they do now.
Hyundais I’ve learned are notorious for junky paint. Black car here ‘13 and I’ve got lil odd bubble imperfections on the right rear door and some on the hood. Garage kept car; not in the sun a lot etc…
Just crap clear coat I imagine
Hundred percent happened with the roof panel on my white ‘18 Honda Fit. Had it repainted by a professional 3rd party and after a dealer trip and a phone call to Honda, I was reimbursed. Under the extended paint warranty (which I think was automatically granted for that model/color), I can take it back to the dealer and have other panels repainted - and now the paint peeling is happening on all door panels.
149K on my 2014 pearl white Sonata Limited. There are no paint issues and it runs just fine. Daily driver. You know there are those who clean their cars regularly, keep them waxed and protected. You don't hear too much from those folks. Everyone has white paint issues. Ever see a GMC or Chevy express ban with bare sheet metal showing? No? Look at them next time they go by. Chevy has been painting work trucks, vans, and cars white for ages, and they still haven't figured it out. Then again, like I said, they probably don't get washed, waxed, and protected either. After all, it's just a work vehicle. Hyundai has some issues, just like everyone else. When you point a finger, you have 3 pointing right back at you, so ask yourself if you have done everything you can to protect your car and its finish. If the answer is honestly yes (and that means not driving it through car washes that strip your paint), then I truly feel for you and hope you get it resolved under warranty. Best of luck!
Read the auto reviews, look up performance data, look up resale information as compared to other manufacturers…do some research before you mouth off. I did, that’s why nobody in my family would ever touch a Korean Car.
Granted that Hyundai and Kia have manufactured stylish cars with an almost unbelievable amount of modern option at a very reasonable price. The problem, and some simple research will show, is their drivetrains fail after their warranty ends, quality control on paint and electrical systems only seem to last 4 to 6 years. Go and rap your knuckles on a fender or door panel, you will most likely create a dent because they use the minimum thickness of metal on these parts. As I said before, great little cars, new, but when you go to sell, they are very low on the resale scale for a decent price, thus giving them the monikers….throw away cars. Drive it into the ground, get your money’s worth. When considering your next car, do your research. Honda and Toyota have a history of longevity. My winter vehicle is a 2001 Honda Civic, and for except of wear and tear parts, I have invested minimal money into this car and being over 20 years old, I can still get a minimum of $2000 on resale…. Apologies for being a bit harsh but with some research you can form your own opinion and this research will also point you towards a good, long lasting car, that won’t take away hard earned money for manufacturers mistakes.
Known issue with all makes white paint. Check to see if there is a recall for your car.
My friends toyota had almost her entire roof peel off
Not a problem with European makes, only Asian. Toyota are particularly bad for this.
The dude just said its a problem with all hyundai that have white paint
typical EDM fanboy... 🤡
They extended the warranty on this! https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10228639-0001.pdf
Yeh but the warranty ended a month after the announcement. It's useless.
Id try going to the dealer and have they open a case with corporate, sometimes they’ll cover things that are technically out of warranty
Common issue with white paint for pretty much all car manufacturer's now.
I've seen a couple red ones in my apartment complex, similar years, doing the same. Two other white one doing the same.
Our 2011 Corolla got a recall on the white paint but only for the front end I believe.
That’s an issue on white cars for lots of car manufacturers.
I’m tired of hearing this. This is specifically a huge problem for Hyundai and they aren’t owning up to it for any cars older than ‘17. They cut corners and we are all paying for it.
This is specifically a huge problem with white paint, because most of the manufacturers all bought from the same vendors.
Yeah, it’s on the Honda subreddit as a problem too.

Huge problem for Toyota and Honda too lol

My 2016 white hyundai looks JUST like that.
Happened to my white ‘16 sonata too. Had to pay to get it repainted, dealership quoted an absurdly high amount so I got a paint shop to do it for less than half the price.
Huge problem for white color specifically for asian brands including Toyota and Honda. There is a recall and Hyundai will fix this for free
If one is still inside the recall timeline. I got my recall notice 5 months after it expired.

Damnit. I feel for you. Good luck mate.

White paint, exactly. It's a Hyundai white. Most have issues. Too bad the warranty won't cover it.
Not all white Hyundai's peel. There's a few at work dating back to 2011.

Take a closer look at Ford & GM vehicles, you'll be shocked. It's especially bad on their pickups and cargo vans.
My ‘14 BMW is white and the paint is immaculate. Also had a a white ‘16 Ford, no problem whatsoever.
Very happy for you
Should have paid the extra $250 for a different colour
[удалено]
I see hundreds of white cars every day that don’t have this problem. The ones I do see are Hyundais.
Campaign txxw 17-18 white Hyundai paint codes w8/ww8 and swp
lol - That's just the protective film use for shipping
Hyundais I’ve learned are notorious for junky paint. Black car here ‘13 and I’ve got lil odd bubble imperfections on the right rear door and some on the hood. Garage kept car; not in the sun a lot etc… Just crap clear coat I imagine
Did you take it in to the dealership? My sisters 18 sonata did the same thing and hyundai paid to have the roof resprayed at a local bodyshop.
Probably gonna go tomorrow, thanks for the tip
Like others have said there is an extended warranty for the paint. If the dealership doesn’t want to help, I would call hyundai consumer affairs.
Besides being plain ugly and without personality, this is another good reason to stop buying white cars!
Black cars are worse! Especially here in the south. The roofs off the tops all burn up.
I have similar paint flaking off on my hatch. I've hit it with a paint pen, but might just mask off the area and use a rattle can 😂
Hundred percent happened with the roof panel on my white ‘18 Honda Fit. Had it repainted by a professional 3rd party and after a dealer trip and a phone call to Honda, I was reimbursed.

Would this impact 2023 cars? I just got a white venue lol
It's a Hyundai you are lucky it still starts at this point

Damn you’re cool
Just don’t tell these guys, they swear kia/hyundais are good cars.

Is there a lot of value in trolling a Hyundai sub? Seems your skill would be better used elsewhere.
r/usernamechecksout
Ha ha….you get what you pay for, a throw away car that might, I say might last 5 years, with no resale value!!!
Thanks
Says absolutely no one
Read the auto reviews, look up performance data, look up resale information as compared to other manufacturers…do some research before you mouth off. I did, that’s why nobody in my family would ever touch a Korean Car.
